PANTS-PROTECTOR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 16, 1907.

Application filed May 16, 1906. Serial No. 317,238-

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARY E. LORD BERGEN, a citizen oi the United States, and a resident of the borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Boys Pants-Protectors, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a reinforce or pants protector for boys; and has for itspbject to so construct the same that it may be easily and cheaply manufactured; may be made of any desired size; and may be connected with or detached from the garment with the greatest facility.

In the drawings I have illustrated a plan view of the pants protector, as it appears constructed and ready for use.

1 represents a piece of kid, cut to the desired shape and size; 2 a piece of muslin or analogous material, which is of slightly larger diameter than the kid so as to extend beyond the edges of the same; and 3 elongated edges or points extending beyond the kid at the front of the protector.

4 is a strip of tape which is passed over the top of the kid and beyond the same, as shown, extending to the edge of the muslin on one side, and to a point 5 between the points 3. This strip is preferably placed on the top of the material; but may be placedbetween the two layers, if desired. The ends of the tape and edges of the muslin may then be connected to the pants by sewing, or otherwise.

The kid and muslin are first connected by sewing; the tape isthen sewed to the same; and the edges of the muslin, ends of the tape, and points 3 connected to the garment. i

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is:

A pants protector or reinforce, consisting of kid, a back ing of muslin or similar material having its edges extending beyond the kid and terminating in points at the front, and a strip of tape passing over the center of and beyond the kid, the edges of the muslin and ends of tape adapted for attachment to a garment.
